Young Doctors Strike Violation of Supreme Court Orders

The Punjab Health Department said that the strike by the Young Doctors Association (YDA) is a clear violation of Supreme Court orders and fundamental rights of the patients.

The Health Department spokesman said that, under the SC orders, it was mandatory for all doctors and owners of pharmaceutical firms to extend complete cooperation in the investigation being carried out regarding the PIC medicines.

The spokesman said those observing the strike would not only commit the contempt of court but such steps would also be against the spirit of noble cause of medical profession.

He appealed to the doctors to abide by the SC orders and refrain from observing the strike.
